The three High Sheriffs of Shropshire – Rhoddy Swire, Worcestershire – Cassian Roberts, and Herefordshire were given a warm welcome and tour of the West Mercia Police Headquarters. This include the new operations room, which also directs the Hereford and Worcester (not Shropshire) Fire and Rescue Service, the Dog Training, the Firearms School and presentations by police officers.

There is much change afoot which will improve the delivery of policing across the region within very tight financial constraints. The force are meeting this challenge with professionalism. The community should be proud of its police force.
